What it is: A community for students who love music—whether they perform, compose, produce, or simply want to understand how music connects people and cultures.

Community focus: Creativity, collaboration, self-expression, and confidence.

Experiential Learning: Music ELC students connect classroom learning to live performance, production, and the music industry through immersive concerts, workshops, and behind-the-scenes experiences.

Adventures: Music ELC students explore the world of live performance through experiences at both local concert venues and on Broadway in New York City. By attending a live concert, students see how musicians connect with a crowd, share their stories, and create powerful moments through music. On Broadway, they experience professional productions that showcase world-class musicianship, storytelling, and stage design.

Together, these experiences highlight how passion, collaboration, and creativity come together on every stage—from local venues to iconic theaters—showing students the many ways music brings people together and inspires audiences.
